Children are gradually developing an image of God that is influenced by the significant adults in
their lives:
imitating the religious gestures and behaviours of others
assimilating some of the values and beliefs of their parents/carers; and
developing a natural sense of wonder and experience the sacred through nature using
their senses.

Term Two:
By the end of Prep, students communicate clearly their ideas, feelings and thoughts about God, the goodness of Gods creation and Gods plan that
people help each other to live safely and happily together, for the good of all. They identify connections between some Old Testament stories and their
personal experience, including experience of the goodness of creation. They listen and respond to stories of and about Jesus in the Gospels that tell of
Jesus life as a Jew, his mother Mary, his friends and family; of Jesus praying and teaching others to pray; and of his suffering, death and resurrection. They
recognise Jesus teachings about love, compassion and forgiveness that challenged people about the way they were living. They relate examples of people
having the freedom to choose between good and bad, right and wrong.
Students understand that prayer helps believers to follow the teachings of Jesus; to live according to Gods plan. They recognise ways in which believers
pray, either alone or with others, using word, music, action, silence, images, symbols and nature and participate with respect in a variety of these prayer
experiences, including meditation, the Sign of the Cross and Amen. They describe ways in which believers pray together during special celebrations and
rituals that mark important times in the life of believers and in the Church year.
